The Bitcoin Series - Part 11: The Bitcoin Culture Wars.
The toxicity, purity tests, and political divides within Bitcoin.
Bitcoin isn’t just a technology, it’s become a battleground. And in this episode, we explore how Bitcoin has been pulled into the heart of modern culture wars. Where ideology, identity, and influence clash over what this technology means, and who it’s for.
We unpack how Bitcoin has been co-opted, championed, misunderstood, and weaponized by libertarians, anarchists, tech bros, populists, progressives, and everyone in between.
Is Bitcoin truly neutral? Or is it becoming a mirror of the society trying to shape it?
Let’s step out from it all and look at what’s really happening beneath the memes and headlines.
Stay curious. Stay grounded. Let’s build better.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Welcome to the Crypto one on one show, where we
dive into the world of cryptocurrencies, bitcoin, blockchain, and all
the technology with it. Whether you're experienced or a beginner
to crypto, our goal is to break down complex concepts
and make it easy for you to understand the basics,
from Bitcoin to all coins. We'll cover it all in
a way that's easy to digest and provide listeners with
(00:30):
the knowledge and understanding they need to make informed decisions
and better critical thought. Sit back, relax, and let's simplify
your understanding of cryptocurrencies on the Crypto one on one show.
(00:54):
The Bigcoin Series, Part eleven, The Bitcoin Culture Wars, the toxicity,
purity tests, and political divides within bitcoin. I need to
start off by saying this is not financial advice, so
if you're looking for that, the show isn't for you.
The content of this podcast episode is for informational purposes only.
The opinions expressed here are not meant to be taken
(01:16):
as financial investment or any other advice. Welcome back to
the Bitcoin Series, Part eleven, The Bitcoin Culture Wars. At
this point we've talked about power, policy, privacy, and energy,
but today we're stepping into a different battlefield, not necessarily
about how bitcoin works, but how people fight about it.
(01:39):
We know that bitcoin is neutral code, but the culture
around it is anything but. In this episode, we're looking
at the ideological divides inside the bitcoin community itself. The
libertarians who see it as sound money and freedom from government,
the leftists who see it as a tool for equity
and resistance, and theists, the so called maximalists, who believe
(02:02):
bitcoin is the only path forward. So the question is,
can something built to unite us around shared rules end
up dividing us through tribal values. Let's jump into it.
Question one, why are bitcoiners often divided between libertarians, leftists
and purists. Stepping into the bitcoin space can feel like
(02:23):
walking into a bar mid argument, Libertarians in one corner,
leftists and another purist at the mic, and everyone thinks
they're holding the real torch for bitcoin. But why is
the space, or one built on the idea of freedom
so divided? It starts with bitcoin itself. To the bitcoin community,
it's not just a currency. It's a blank slate, a
(02:45):
mirror or a revolution waiting to be claimed. And because
it's decentralized, it doesn't come with a party or a
policy or a philosophy pre loaded that makes it incredibly
powerful but also incredibly interpretable. Saw it first sound money,
no central banks, and freedom from government overreach. For them,
(03:06):
bitcoin is digital gold and a protest against fiat tyranny
think and the Fed live off the grid, audit everything.
The leftist and progressive arrived with a different lens. What
if bitcoin could fix financial exclusion, bank the unbanked, fund resistance,
build mutual aid outside of broken institutions. Their Bitcoin isn't
(03:28):
about hoarding, It's about redistributing power. And then there are
purest bitcoin maximalists, who believe anything that isn't Bitcoin as
a scam and anyone who questions the protocol is either
misinformed or malicious. For them, bitcoin isn't a revolution, it's
dull revolution, and deviation is dangerous. And what happens when
(03:48):
these groups collide conflict philosophical gatekeeping, culture wars, and ironically,
the very thing that makes bitcoin powerful is its neutrality,
and its own becomes the battlefield for control because everyone
wants to believe they're fighting for the true version of freedom.
But often underneath these debates isn't just code or economics,
(04:11):
it's values. It's trauma, it's control, its identity. So why
are bitcoiners so divided? Because Bitcoin is big enough to
hold multitudes and messy enough to force us to wrestle
with each other's definitions of liberation. It's not just about
money anymore. It's about what kind of future that money
is supposed to build, and that conversation is far from over.
(04:35):
Question two is maximalism helping or hurting adoption? Let's get
into the firestarter of the bitcoin world maximalism. If you've
spent more than a few minutes on bitcoin Twitter, you
probably encountered it. The bitcoin er bust mindset, the idea
that Bitcoin is the only legitimate cryptocurrency and that everything
(04:57):
else ethereum solana DeFi token stable coins is either a scam,
a distraction, or outright enemy of the mission. Maxis will
say they're defending the protocol, that they're upholding this signal
in a sea of noise. They want strong principles, scarcity, decentralization, security,
and in their view, bitcoin is the only thing that
(05:19):
truly delivers all three. To be fair, maximalism did help
protect bitcoin early on. It drew clear lines, it kept
the focus, It resisted hype, cycles and rug pulls. It
filtered out a lot of noise. If you're building a revolution,
you need people willing to say no to dilution, to corruption,
to mission creep. But what starts as protection can quickly
(05:43):
become exclusion. People who ask questions can get attacked. Developers
who build new tools get smeared. Activists and progressives who
see bitcoin as a tool for financial justice are called
status or grifters. And if you use any other chain
or tech, even for good reasons, you're out. This kind
of gatekeeping isn't just bad pr it's bad strategy. It
(06:05):
turns off newcomers, It creates echo chambers, and it undermines
the core value of bitcoin open participation. And to be frank,
maximalism isn't monolithic. There are bitcoiners who hold strong convictions
without resorting to toxicity, but the loudest voices often drawn
out the thoughtful ones, and when the culture becomes more
(06:26):
about purity tests than building bridges, adoption suffers. Maximalists help
steer people away from real scams like bitconnect, Luna, and ftx,
but the flip side that protective instinct can get weaponized.
Here's just a sampling of examples. The block size wars
(06:46):
twenty fifteen to twenty seventeen. This was the first major
civil war in bitcoin. Some developers and miners want to
increase the size of bitcoin blocks to allow for faster,
cheaper transactions. Others, the purists, said no, that breaks decentralization.
It got ugly, forms were censored, developers were doxed, the
(07:07):
community split, and out of it came bitcoin Cash, a
hard fork that's still around but never came close to
replacing Bitcoin Takeaway. Maximalism won the war, but not without
collateral damage. Another one is attacks on Jack Dorsey, strike
and human right activists. Jack Dorsey, former CEO of Twitter
(07:28):
and one of bitcoin's biggest corporate backers, has faced criticisms
from Maxi's for not being pure enough. Same goes for
Alex Gladstein of the Human Rights Foundation, who uses Bitcoin
to support activists under authoritarian regimes. Why because they've engaged
with lightning, with stable coins or simply acknowledged nuance Takeaway.
(07:50):
Even pro bitcoin figures can't escape the purity tests. And
the last example is ethereum hatred and culture shaming. There's
a meme in the bitcoin community have fun staying poor
Maximists often lob it at people who buy other assets
or even dare to question bitcoin. Dogma ethereum, a shitcoin,
(08:11):
doos useless web three a joke takeaway. It creates a
hostile culture that pushes curious people away instead of inviting
them in. So is maximalism helping or hurting adoption? The
answer isn't black and white. Maximalism helped define bitcoin's core values,
it shielded it from dilution and captured attention in a
(08:33):
very noisy space, but it's also becoming a liability. Newcomers
don't want to be yelled at. Builders don't want to
be git kept communities don't want to be told they're
too late, too poor, or too well educated to join.
The question for this generation of bitcoiners is can you
hold strong beliefs without burning down the tent? Can you
(08:54):
stay principled and welcoming? Because if bitcoin is going to
be for everyone, it can't only be led by the
loudest few. Question three, how do we build more inclusive
bitcoin culture? If bitcoin really is for everyone, then the
culture around it should reflect that, but it doesn't always
feel that way. The loudest voices in the room are
(09:16):
often tech bros. Libertarian purists or gatekeepers who make newcomers
feel like they have to pass a test just to belong.
And that's a problem because if you believe bitcoin is
a tool for freedom, then it shouldn't matter if you're
a coder or a cashier, a Wall Street dropout, or
a minimum wage worker. If you value sovereignty, then it
shouldn't matter. So how do we actually create that kind
(09:38):
of culture. First, stop with the purity test. Bitcoin isn't
a religion. It's not about who got in first, who
runs the biggest node, or who yells the loudest on Twitter.
It's about decentralizing power, and that means sharing it, making
room for more kinds of voices, more lived experiences, more
people who don't look or sound like the ogs. Second,
(10:00):
we make education of core value not just a marketing tool,
because if people can't understand bitcoin, they can't use it.
If they can't use it, then it's already failed before
it's even started. Education has to meet people where they are,
in their language, at their level and their context. That
might mean workshops in underserved communities, translated resources, community led meetups,
(10:24):
or podcasts just like this. One Third, celebrate the builders too.
Not just the holders. The culture today often rewards those
who stack SATs and dunk on newbies, but the real
heroes they're the people making open source wallets, teaching their neighbors,
translating the white paper, helping a protester on board, or
(10:44):
explaining inflation to the family and plain english. That's Bitcoin
in action. And finally, remember why most people showed up
in the first place, not just to get rich, not
just to opt out, but to build something better the
system that's harder to rig, a future that's fairer, a
culture that values truth, transparency, and community over cloud. Because
(11:06):
a revolution won't start with code, starts with people, and
if bitcoin is going to reach everyone, then everyone needs
to feel like they are allowed to take part in
building it. Here's where we are now. Bitcoin might be code,
but culture is the operating system it's run on, and
like any community, it reflects the hopes, fears, and power
(11:26):
struggles of the people who show up. So if bitcoin
is going to be for everyone, it can't just be
sound money. It has to be sound culture. Because if
this is a revolution, it doesn't stop at decentralization. It
has to move through inclusion, humility, and the willingness to
listen to people who don't agree with it. Maximalism might
protect the protocol, but empathy builds the future. Thanks for
(11:49):
tuning in to Part eleven of the Bitcoin Series. Hopefully
I'll see you in Part twelve, where we take the
conversation to how will governments try to control Bitcoin? Until then,
say curious, stay grounded. I want to be extremely upfront
that I try my best to leave all of my
opinions out of this. I know this is very condensed
and simplified, but I want you to gain your own
(12:10):
understanding of beliefs and not be persuaded by me. I
hope this helped you gain a better grasp of it.
